I went to chelsea market thinking i was going to get something from amy's bread for breakfast but ended up having a freshly steamed lobster and freshly shucked oysters as a special Sunday brunch! Loved the lobster place so much i went back there 4 more times while in NYC and had the seared tuna with soba noodles, shrimp w soba, sampled a dozen different oysters and tried the lobster roll. Highly recommended for brunch, lunch, dinner or a snack!
It's a staple stop for me and it never disappoints. Freshest seafood and the oysters are always on point, with a very knowledgeable staff.
I'm from Philadelphia and some of the time we simply drive up to NYC to come here as it were. The lobster is so crisp and very yummy. I wish there were seats here yet I'd presumably simply nod off after eat so it in all probability a decent thing.🙂
Comi a melhor lagosta da minha vida. Espaço espectacular ontem há todo o tipo de peixes, lagostas, ostras, Sushi...etc. a lagosta come se de pé e com luvas. É uma experiência única é bastante saborosa.
Seafood heaven with a laid back atmosphere and good prices. U pick up your seafood and they cook it for you (lobster) or clean it/cut it (oyster and crab). Amazing place
Pricey, but Fresh
The place was busy and there was a ton of seafood variety. I'm not sure how people can justify paying some of their prices for the whole lobsters, but I saw many people who did. I opted for a sushi roll and a shrimp cocktail, and both were good, but not too special in my opinion. Next time I wouldn't mind trying the oysters form the raw bar.
Thr Lobster House in Chelsea Market is where all of your seafood dreams come true. The fresh oysters are f#$@*%ing amazing and has ruined any other oyster bar for me. This is a definite must!!
Simple! Big! Fresh! Delicious! Blown away by the 3.5pound lobster！ only 80dollars！ besides lobster there are lots of other seafood choices! Seafood lovers heaven! The only thing is the shop gets so busy during lunch and dinner time you have to fight for a spot to stand and eat! However as a seafood lover will come back again and again and again!@
Ça fait plusieurs années que je vais à New York et je n'avais jamais mis les pieds au Chelsea Market. Le marché existe depuis 20 ans. J'ai adoré l'aménagement de l'ancienne usine. Il y a de tout dans ce marché dont des restos. Lonely Planet suggérait d'aller au Lobster Place et je n'ai pas regretté. C'est le paradis du fruit de mer. Il y avait tellement de choix. Comme le resto s'appelle Lobster Place, on a pris un lobster roll. Il était malade. Ici, il y a vraiment du homard et il n'a pas besoin d'avoir plein de mayo. C'est tellement frais. Les sushis me tentaient aussi. À ma grande surprise, les sashimis étaient aussi frais qu'au Japon. Ça va me faire moins loin que de traverser l'océan. Bon, je dois avouer que la patte de crabe était ordinaire. C'est chaud et salé. Bref c'est un bon endroit pour les amateurs de fruit de mer. Je dois y retourner pour essayer leur omakase.
On y va pour :
-lobster roll
-clam chowder
-sashimi super frais
-omakase
This was a great fun place in Chelsea Market! The lobster roll was fresh and tasty. I also had the bay girlies that were hot and spicy. Next time I will have to try a steamed whole lobster or some oysters on the half shell.
Lobster Place is where you'll find a variety of seafood in the one shop. There's sections dedicated to oysters, lobsters, chowder, sushi and sashimi etc. You can try a bit of everything and everything's fresh. Majority of the seafood is reasonably priced. It does get quite busy so you might need to wait a while before being served but it's easy to find a spot in the dining areas (mostly standing only).

Best sushi in NYC , super adorable and tastes so fresh. Highly recommend the butter fish , great service fast and in easy in the heart of Chelsea
So this place is a restaurant and a seafood market all in one. Honestly how much more fresh can seafood get when it's going from the market which is behind you to the counter which is in front of you. My friends and I had the oysters which they had a fantastic selection which they also displayed by size and salinity of the oyster on a chart so that you could make a decision based upon what you liked instead of trying to pick blindly. We also had the sushi which was fantastic. I ended up getting a specialty role that was made with tuna and had seared Toro on top. This place is fantastic for anybody that's looking for a really good experience with seafood while not getting ripped off on the price.
The Lobster Place inside Chelsea Market is a seafood haven that never disappoints. The freshness and deliciousness of their seafood is truly unparalleled. Whether you're a seafood enthusiast or just looking for a delightful soup, this place has it all.
Head to the back for a minimal wait, and you can indulge in their fresh lobster rolls, savory soups, and tasty snacks. The casual ambiance adds to the charm, making it a perfect spot for a satisfying and enjoyable dining experience.
The Lobster Place is a must-visit for anyone craving top-notch sushi and seafood in the heart of Chelsea Market.
This is a nice seafood restaurant that splits the place into different sections for various types of foods. There is a sushi section, a lobster/seafood section, and there is an oyster bar as well. Overall, the food is good and the service is commensurate.
Delicious.
Expensive.
Worth it.
There’s nothing fussy about this place, and that’s what I really loved. Easy, chill vibe with drinks and oysters and lobster and a section of items (and fish market) to take home after if you want to cook yourself.
I highly recommend!
Though - hopefully one day soon they add an oyster Happy Hour!
What a gorgeous selection of pristine quality seafood and bi-valves and fair value too. Place can get pretty busy and noisy. Friendly, knowledgeable staff and management.
We went bonkers and went on a bivalves rampage!
Ordered at least 5 dozens of Cherry stone Clams, 2 dozens of oysters, Little neck Clams, Jonas Stone-Crab Claws, Diver's Scallops Crudo and the ' Creme de la Creme ' Wild California Santa-Barbara Uni!!
I think our order made our two oyster shuckers hopping mad!!😝
Of the 8 different East Coast Oysters varietals tried....Glidden Point, Mere Point, Sunken Meadow, Willow's hole.....etc.
'INDIGO' was our favorite stand-out! Creamy and sweet and not overly salty. Absolutely delightful!!
I am a fan of the lobster place. A lot of fresh open oysters can be eaten here. I used to come here for the lobster in the back but recently have been eating a lot of of the oyster. Sometimes they have sea urchin as well.
On the side, the sushi bar in the middle is quite good. Had it twice and fish is super fresh (duh is a fish market). But the technique of the rice and sushi is still very good. Not the cheapest but quality definitely better than some sushi place elsewhere
Playing as tourist, ordered lobsta (Boston accent) roll and oysters… let me warn you ahead, it wasn’t cheap! 3 lobsta rolls, fried fish & shrimp plate, a dozen oysters and a pint of IPA beer will run you about $150 with tips. Lobster rolls wasn’t all that, I feel Luke’s might be better. Also the lobster roll in National Harbor is better! Over all it’s a food market :) also it’s near by Little Island, another tourist spot.
This was amazing ! I'm a seafood lover, so it was right up my ally. We fot the lobster roll combo, with manhatten chowder and side of slaw. Very tasty. Thought the lobster roll would be bigger, but it was still good.! Also got oysters from the fresh oyster bar and they were amazing ND not at all badly priced.
A spacious place with a whole raw seafood bar. There are a variety types of cold water oysters, ranging from grand to petit, salty to sweet and they are all pretty good. The raw clams are definitely worth trying too. 👍
Each counter has its own specialities and you order and pay at each one. We had some oysters at the raw bar and then a lobster roll at the hot food bar down the back. This one is the most popular section by far so seats are harder to come by and as most people are getting whole lobster the seats don’t turnover quickly. Lobster roll was nice, bun was a little small but packed with lots of lobster.
